Top 100 MLB.com Blogs

Baseball fans aren’t going to forget 2012 any time soon. We saw the debuts of phenomenal young talent, we marveled at historic feats and we held on through truly memorable Postseason moments. Bloggers were there every step of the way, and now is the time to honor those who made the annual Top 100 MLB.com Blogs list. Once again the Hot Stove/Trade Buzz two-headed monster finished as the overall most-visited MLB.com Blog, powered by the only network of 30 traveling beat reporters, with Better Off Red finishing off a very impressive season in second place in the PRO category. The Baseball Collector has bragging rights again among Fan blogs, with the reborn and resurgent Rays Renegade right behind. Carrie Muskat held off Jason Beck to grab top honors among the MLB.com Beat Writers.

Congratulations to everyone who made the Top 100! If you’re on the list, make sure you add your Top 100 MLB.com Blogs badge to your sidebar, with the link to this post. Here are the Latest Leaders ranked by page views from Jan. 1-Dec. 31, 2012:

Reminder: Blogs only can be tracked for this list if they use an MLB theme. If you switch to a different WordPress.com theme for a day or two during that month, those page views will not be included for these purposes because they cannot be recorded by MLB.com.

Thanks to everyone who reads Hoppers Fan, we ended up on the top 100 MLB.com Blogs list for all of 2013! With family obligations and trying to keep up with the Hoppers themselves, keeping track of the blog standings just kinda slipped past us. When MLB.com announced this in January, we simply didn’t notice. It’s great to know that there are lots of folks out there enjoying what we write and the photos we share. It’s also great to see that a blog devoted to a Single-A Minor League team in North Carolina is as popular as blogs devoted to Major League teams. From Jordan and me, to all of you, thank you!

Year one, that is what this year was for us over at Born on Third, and we finished 19th for the season! I can’t thank all the visitors enough, without you this wouldn’t be worth it. GO CUBS!!http://bornonthird.mlblogs.com/

It is always a special moment when I pop open this monthly gift nugget and see what is revealed.
Blessed to be a part of this blogging community, glad I did not leave in 2011, and always in debt to Mark and his MLBlogs.com crew for their support and want to give us such a grand platform for our rants, raves and opinions.
By seeing myself again at # 2 yearly slot for the second year is not due to my writing, it is due to your popping on my posts, commenting and reading my Rays comments or news bites.
Always grateful to the friends and fellow bloggers I have met, or want to meet, or have become friends through comments and blog posts.
Sorry I was a bit late to the party here, but like so many of our MLB players, I had off-season surgery I and am just getting back my writing “legs”. Looking forward to another spirited season and especially the upcoming Fan Fest and Pitchers and Catchers Report Day in Port Charlotte, Florida.
Thank you again everyone for you support this past season and making me miss you enough to come back stronger than ever.

Wow, lots of great blogs on this list. Thannks to everyone who stopped by M.I.B. for a little reading. I really appreciate it. I enjoy so many on the list myself. Thanks to Mark for all the hard work to make it possible for us to have so much fun doing this. 2013 will be epic!!!!!!!

If you’ve made the list, please be sure to REBLOG this post (like Camille Campins-Adams did) and add the new Top 100 banner to your side panel and spread the word to all of your friends throughout social media. One of the best steps toward getting on lists like this, if you’re not on it, is to leave a congratulatory comment on the blogs of those who did, and be sure to leave your name and FULL URL as an easy breadcrumb. We appreciate EVERYONE who takes the time to post at MLB.com Blogs and look forward to trying to help raise your volume in 2013!

For anyone inquiring about upcoming Meet the Bloggers video episodes, hang in there and we will try our best to line some up. It will get much easier once Spring Training starts. Have a great week, everyone!

Thanks, Mark, for putting this together and thanks to everyone for reading! The Ballpark Guide finished 13th in 2012, and I’m thrilled. 2013 will be ever better! Thanks again, all!

Congrats to Jamie Ramsey and Mark Sheldon! Better off Red and Mark My Word are awesome! And they are super interactive with the fans! My first spring training experience was highlighted by their assistance! Great year for the Reds organization!!! – @coreyestep

Reblogged this on My Serendipitous Life as a Baseball Wife and commented:
Wow! I am very excited to announce that in a year of many firsts, I managed to break the top 100 MLB.com PRO Blogs of 2012. When I started blogging in March, I had two goals in mind: 1. to blog consistently and 2. for my blog to be selected as a ProMLBlog. Knowing that my blog is reaching people worldwide and that I have a loyal following is a huge bonus. I am so grateful to everyone who made this possible, including my lovely muse, David.
Love and blessings,
Camille

Certainly won’t complain at being slotted alongside the current face of the Milwaukee Brewers.

I’m currently writing up a post about how 2012’s ranking was achieved through a renewed dedication to the act of actually posting columns again. I barely posted any new content in 2011 and the numbers reflected such. My Twitter account really was taking off by then and I let the writing slip. I’m happy that 2012 has allowed me to find a balance. ……basically I still tweet too much and just blog a lot more. :-)

Thanks to everyone who has stopped by even once and thanks to all those who continue to read my work!

Love the top 100! Thank you, Mark! Congratulations to everyone who made the list this year and best wishes to those who are shooting for it next year. Reading all of your great blogs makes the offseason bearable. I am proud to be included in your number. :)

Congratulations to all that blog about this great game! And thank you to all the posters and readers!!

67th! I was not expecting to be that high up! I averaged 1 view a day in March 2012, and quickly surged up in August, with that being my first month in the latest leaders! Thank You to all that have supported me this past year and Thank You to Mark for doing a great job here at MLBlogs Central! I hope to continue to rise in the standings in 2013!
